[@flamingscar5263]

On the topic of matchmaking feeling like you "can't branch out" I just want to point out that it's always going to feel that way with modern gaming audiences I'll use Destiny 2 PvP as an example, Bungie has tried bassicly every matchmaking system under the sun and was upfront every time tbey would change it, give all the data they collected, and no matter what they did, people would only use the meta options almost across the board and their KD/s would trend towards 1.0 with or without SBMM, the community just took the game that hyper serious no matter what

[@onyxgilbert6579]

This is so true, when they added sbmm back people had much more fun

[@vibesmagma8451]

Take lol pvp, take wow pvp, take apex pvp. Its a gaming issue not a cod issue

[@Randomsmashfan64]

Finally, someone said it! You can have the most robust matchmaking experience that is purpose built to find that nebulous "Fun" of balanced/mixed skill lobbies, but when you have a player base that's already hard-wired to use only the most broken weapons and strats and constantly chase the high that a zero-sum game like this is know for, you're gonna find yourself facing these "sweaty lobbies" often simply because the average skill level these days is just that high. Of course, no one's ego is strong enough to admit that.

[@KG-rk7qu]

@@Randomsmashfan64for real. There’s a good amount of trash players, a good amount of amazing players, and then the majority rest of us in the 1-2 maybe even 3 KD range. I think the community maybe should take it a little less serious and play the objective modes a bit more like they’re objectives and not just TDM with extra steps. The constant meta playing just ruins the game over time for the average person. Granted I’m only a low to mid 1’s kd guy so what do I know

What map is it with the house in the middle with 2 or 3 storeys is it payback? When you die you spawn in the little cabin at the bottom and somebody all they have to do is camp at the stairs to your right and you can't get out. I died 6 times in a row to this, they need to fix the fucking spawns.

[@computerwsmallscreen2709]

Create a new weapon build and delete your bugged weapon build. (Can't guarantee this will definitely fix though because I only had the LW3 bugged and fixed)

[@NexSerenade]

Okay, I was starting to feel a little crazy with some of the reactions and takes on the game that social media was pushing into my timeline so it's a relief to see somebody like yourself having an initial impression similar to my own. The main star of this game right now is just the pure gameplay feel and I don't hate any of the maps (yet lol), so hopefully once the sweatiness calms down, we all learn the maps, and maybe a few small tweaks to visibility they'll go from feeling fine/good to good/great. I think my only main divergence from what you said is think I've played Red Card enough to say I like it. It's giving me Strikezone vibes from Ghosts, particularly the front of the stadium. I do agree that it feels like it spawns you a bit too far away but I remember Moscow and Miami feeling like that when I started playing Cold War, and they either fixed that on Moscow or it didn't feel as bad once people learned the map. Also I think the spawn distance might feel more pronounced than it really is because of how many of the smaller maps spawn you right on the edge of the action. Anyway, bottom line is I have no major complaints and I'm having a blast with the game so far!

[@brett4932]

Why would the sweat get less over time? It’ll just get worse as people find the meta and rank up.

[@NexSerenade]

@brett4932 I mean there's no way to know what the exact mechanism of it is, but the last several games have felt super sweaty at launch and it slowly ratchets back over time. I've always assumed it was from the higher player count, meaning the SBMM system can more easily match you with similarly skilled players. You can see that throughout the year by playing at the peak times versus non-peak times. I have a drastically different experience if I play at, say, 10am compared to 10pm, or if I play on the weekend versus the weekday.

[@Mr.Slade62]

you are not the only one who feels it takes longer to kill than it does to be killed. WEIRD how that works. Glad I am not alone with how it feels. Nice video, I enjoy them.

Must be nice. I played my first match this morning at like 8am EST and was up against people who had been grinding for hours all night levels 25+. Diving, sliding, full attachments, streaks. There’s zero chill to this game if you have an account that even remotely above average from a stat perspective.

[@mr_samsonite]

Matchmaking is definitely weird so far. It might be because of the influx of players, but after 19 games in - mainly domination, kill confirmed or hardpoint at times, my W/L is 0.56. I focus on the objective as much as I can, but man is it frustrating to try to win with lower skilled players or new players especially when half the team ends up leaving mid game. When I get placed with the pub stomping team, which is rare, it’s total map control and the other team starts leaving. Did not experience this during the MWII or MWIII and my game play tendencies haven’t changed. And yes, I’m queuing up solo, as I did the last two games. K/D is about 1.56.

SBMM. That's why I'm taking a break. I understand that using something different always ended up being a bit of a struggle, but in recent years it has felt more like starting a game for the first time on the highest difficulty.

[@0xAnomaly]

It has some things i like: ttk, sound, omnimovement. But the MAPS are terrible for this fast movement. There is no map control, bad flow and every mode feels like deathmatch. I mainly play ranked and im really worried. Feel like it will suck with these maps

[@PbZeppelin]

Fully agree with the connection & desync part. For context I live in Adelaide , Australia, so you already know it’s gonna be really bad but yeah, launch day connection yesterday was horrifically de-synced for me and my Aussie buddies. I literally have a 3.15 KDR and 3.00 WLR in MWIII and we could barely pull 1.4 KDRs yesterday and get wins, we always felt around 200ms behind everyone else in the lobby and felt like enemies were killing us before the game even had a chance to show them on our screen, but on the killcam our player models are just standing there oblivious apparently… absolutely bizarre. They really need to hone in on the server performance because like you said, it was so 50/50 and it destroys the experience when you objectively cannot kill anyone because the desync is giving an unfair connection advantage of roughly 100-200ms which is also , you guessed it, at least half time it takes to actually kill someone in the game with its TTK.. the whole shoot first die first is the worst I’ve seen it to be (worse than MWIII beta) in recent years and it makes enemies look like they’re fast-forwarded in 1.25x speed. Makes for a miserable experience!

[@youtubedeletedmynamewhybother]

the sbmm is TIGHT, im not really having fun in more than half of these lobbies im just grinding kills where i can from being completely spawn trapped against with level 1's on my team... The only reason i dont leave is because i know i'll get an easy lobby the next game.... Because the sbmm is unequivocally tuned WAY to hard.

Payback isn't a bad map until you've played Domination on it. Probably the least amount of fun I've had in a match in a COD game in a LONG time.

Mostly agree with you here. I had an instance with desync or poor connection where someone killed me across the map with the XM4 and I legitimately only heard 3 hits to me before I was dead. Generally Treyarch games have that very punchy sound for every hit you take but on occasion I've had it not register every hit, and it's always the instance I feel I died instantly. Skill matching is still definitely a pain to. Can never have an enjoyable experience like the very first game on here afterwards. First game was great and super chill. Immediately the next game everyone is jump spamming, drop shotting, you name it. CoD just isn't like that man. Blows my mind. Too many people have their egos riding on this game.

[@SLPWLKNGx]

My feedback 1. M4 needs hotfix nerf immediately. I swear 7/10 deaths are from this gun 2. Jumping needs more fatigue 3. Weird hit reg needs fixed. I’ll fight someone with the same gun and get the same number of hitmarkers or even more than they had to kill me and I’ll die with no feedback on my screen that I was even hit. My ping has consistently been 15-40 depending on the lobby. It should not feel this bad Other than that I think the game overall feels good. I still hate gunsmith and think COD will never be great until they return to pick 10 or similar system and remove the “realistic” elements to how you move around and aim in favor of the old snappy arcade feel but given that won’t change this is probably as good as it’s gonna get

Im pretty sure the SBMM is more noticeable because the skill gap is much wider now. Longer TTK mixed with more movement options means every gunfight is an actual fight, not just melting someone. The desync feels more brutal in these cases, because it means a more complicated gunfight is now tipped against you. Also, I have seen some GNARLY spawn traps on domination, and not on the small maps. The outside snow map I have been triple capped and our entire team was stuck spawning in one single building with the enemy team pre-aiming all the doors. Also on Rewind my team has managed to get the ebemy team spawning in just one single corner with no cover the entire game.

They didnt have 4 years of just working on BO6. None of that is accurate. They do other things during those 4 years, it is not 100% working on a single title, its never been that way. It came years ago that it was either BO2 or 3 that they spent years on, but the actual total game time was like 8-9 months.

[@shyboo1972]

I agree on ALL the negative issues you’ve experienced because I’ve experienced them myself and it’s not fun I’m a way above average player and so far I’ve had so many super negative games because I’m lagging so far behind even when my latency has been consistently under 10ms. I shoot people with a half of a clip and nothing only to be killed instantly as if they’re playing hardcore and I’m not.

[@gulab_jamun95]

Whoever at treyarch put their foot down and said "give us a proper development cycle" deserves their flowers. It's crazy how good this feels in comparison to IW games and how much all the little things feel well considered. I don't need the specialist bonus but it's powerful to use. I don't need omni-movement but it's intuitive and fun. This game has issues but day 1 is so much better than any IW game in the last few cycles

[@peterwoodaman5936]

No doubt about it.

[@X49512]

So far I've actually encountered quite a few bugs that seem like important ones that need fixing. (I play on Xbox) For instance, my loadouts sometimes spawn as someone else's, like having a gold AR when I haven't even played with it yet, along with perks and equipment I haven't unlocked. I also keep getting bugs where I can't swap loadouts or change attachments on my guns. I've also encountered UI bugs that make the game look glitchy or not have UI when there should be. I know it's just the opening weekend, but I hope they get those kinds of things fixed ASAP.

[@thedoughboy5231]

For visibility, I have no idea why cod has not just put red outlines or highlights on enemies and blue for teammates. A lot of other FPS’s do this and it helps tremendously target identification. It would also help a ton with identifying prone players because I always think they are dead bodies. The name tag system just feels dated and worse. Especially since in HVT, the HVT actually has this so I know they can do this well. MW3 had a test of it and it was horrible because you had to stare at them for a while before it showed up and by that point I didn’t need it. Just because then it was bad doesn’t mean they shouldn’t add a good version of it in this game.

[@boss-is5fz]

Just say you want to have nearly a wall hack on every ennemy because you have bad aim at that point

[@rekt_n_line]

I absolutely despise Babylon. I played a game of Hardpoint where the enemy spawn trapped us in one corner of the map and constantly had an overwatch helo in the air. Horrible experience. Other than that, my only other complaint is when you load into a match where you're stuck on the loading screen but physically spawned in the map. Also I can agree the launch maps are a bit weak. The only glitch I've experienced is that my loudouts were completely wrong one match, and also everyone appears as level 1 in the UI. But I'd have to agree that it's relatively polished.

[@TheRealReasons]

Soon as he said he didn't agree with the spawns being trash I ended the video. Been playing TDM all morning and I can tell you every game every map the spawns are terrible. You kill someone and if you dont have a teammate behind you that enemy spawns behind you. I've had enemies spawn on me while anchoring and there's no prediction outside of what I stated as to where the enemy teams will spawn. Its like sometimes it wants to use good spawn logic and others it just wants to give that person that just died a free kill. Also Free 4 all should be turned off until they fix those spawns because its even worse
